The Chitrakote Falls (also spelled Chitrakote, Chitrakot, and Chitrakoot) is a natural waterfall on the Indravati River, located approximately 38 kilometres (24 mi) to the west of Jagdalpur, in Bastar district in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh.
The height of the falls is about 29 metres (95 ft).[1][2] It is the widest waterfall in India, reaching a width of nearly 300 metres (980 ft) during the monsoon season.[3] Because of its width and its widespread horseshoe shape during the monsoon season, it is often called the "Niagara Falls of India".[4][5]
